Max vs. The Sun

Ryan finally convinced Max to wear a speedo! He swore he’d never pose like this. But summer has a way of changing the rules.

Update:

• Fixed the clipping hand in the second picture.

• Adjusted lighting and added more detail in the third picture.

WIP - Charlie Camera Test

Added a few more hair strands and adjusted his muscle tone. What do you guys think of him so far?

Survey for Lighthouse Keepers

I've had this idea for a Discord server for a while now. Would you guys be interested in joining one of Saltwork Bros?

If so, are there any kinds of content (Yes, any kind) that you would like to see over on Discord?

Regarding the access, I'm thinking maybe giving it to the Lighthouse Keeper Tier for now. Maybe I'll give access to lower tiers too, if you guys feel it's fair (the more the merrier, right?) I haven't figured out how to connect Dis...

Friendly Neighborhood Ryan

Seeing this got Max's Spidey Senses tingling

A New Character?

He dives into both pages and pools. A new face is making waves.

The 3D model is still sporting a familiar look, but he's coming into his own. Smart, quiet, and maybe just a little mysterious.

Leveling up Max’s drip, one polygon at a time.

New glasses, hu dis?

Nothing like a little sweat and spin to cool down. Ryan’s got it handled.

WIP - Coast of Saltwork Bay Concept

Here’s a peek at a concept art I’m currently working on, featuring the rugged coast of Saltwork Bay. This scene helps set the tone for the world Max and Ryan live in. I’ll be updating this post as the piece evolves.

It Begins with a Wave

Hey there, and welcome to my Patreon! 👋

Max and Ryan wanted to say hi, so here they are, waving at you with that soft kind of charm they always have.

This space is where I share everything I'm creating, from sketches to 3D experiments to bits of their story that haven't made it out into the world yet. Whether you're here for the art, the characters, or just the vibe, I’m so happy to have you here.

Thanks for being part of this quiet little world with me.
